[SPEAKER_01]: You all listen into the cults report with well and day of rugford, and it's only on the circle and you have a sports report this week we are going to be discussing the preseason game on Saturday a little bit and the latest cults news.
0:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome Coltrance, the central Indian sports report for this week's Coltrance report with Will and Dave Rutherford.
0:34
[SPEAKER_01]: We are live at the Creek Side Chateau, and we hope that the bugs aren't going to be a distraction.
0:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully, there are magic audio because I care that it's not going to be worth it.
0:47
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
0:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna talk about a cults pre-season game, honestly.
0:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember the final score of 25-6, maybe.
0:56
[SPEAKER_01]: 34-6.
0:56
[SPEAKER_01]: 34-6, I doesn't have pre-season final scores, though, make a bit of difference.
1:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Often, the pre-season games don't make a bit of difference, but I gotta say I didn't like the tone and all of this game.
1:11
[SPEAKER_01]: How can guys who are trying to make a 53-man roster not play inspired?
1:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And there was no life with that team, including the quarterback that we all want to like.
1:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And is it a bad sign or is it no big deal?
1:34
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm disappointed in the effort like you are.
1:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like,
1:41
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a football game and you go out and you give your best effort regardless, but at the end of the day 50% of the people that played that game aren't making the 50-3 man roster anyway.
1:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And of the 53-50% that are gonna be there, they're not gonna be high-five players anyway.
2:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So at the end of the day, I don't know that it makes that much difference, but don't you want your depth for forming well, the guys who are going to be in it.
2:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Not very many did, will.
2:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I guess you do if you think that you're gonna have all of your number two guys in at the same time.
2:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that,
2:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't need the number two team to be great.
2:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I need three or four guys from the second team to be great.
2:28
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
2:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't even need to be great.
2:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm really going to follow everybody, boys.
2:33
[SPEAKER_02]: To an extent, but I mean, you don't, if we have that many of the second team guys playing, we're not knowing anywhere anyway.
2:40
[SPEAKER_02]: So to me, it's a wash. We didn't see anybody, but I think it's going to play meaningful snaps outside of maybe Richardson and Riley Liner, whoever ends up being the quarterback too.
2:53
[SPEAKER_01]: There I will start there because it was absolutely awful the quarterback play and
3:02
[SPEAKER_01]: man, it's Anthony Richardson's playing for his life and you've got to be better.
3:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
3:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's probably something to be said with being a second guy coming out and not necessarily getting start.
3:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there is maybe something there, but at the same time he's going to be doing that as backed up.
3:20
[SPEAKER_02]: He's never going to be starting a game as backed up.
3:23
[SPEAKER_02]: unless Daniel Jones suffers an injury late on a Sunday and isn't available the next week.
3:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So you kind of have to be a better out of the bullpen and be kind of my analogy for it.
3:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought you looked uncomfortable.
3:37
[SPEAKER_02]: He looked razzly at happy feet like you normally does.
3:40
[SPEAKER_02]: He didn't hit any layups.
3:42
[SPEAKER_02]: He's only three for nine passing for 24 yards with just pitiful.
3:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, just three runs he had were not bad, but he only had three runs.
3:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So he improvises well.
3:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, you're going to have to your back of quarterback.
3:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I, to me, the biggest issue was the fact that I thought that Riley Leonard looked really bad.
4:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And to me, he is left a taste of my mouth that says he cannot be your number two.
4:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Your only option is Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard has to be your three.
4:14
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been given two opportunities.
4:15
[SPEAKER_02]: He was coming in hot, following that week 18 performance at Houston where I would still like to say that he'd turn the ball over three times.
4:24
[SPEAKER_02]: But he played fine and he's played two preseason games and really looked bad So there's a lot of questions to be asked that.
4:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm curious to know kind of what you think regarding the quarterback situation And I think you guys said it pretty well Obviously if the end of John's gets hurt, we are in a world of hurt And because we don't have a back-up quarterback
4:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So as much as we've all been pretty high on Anthony and continue to want to believe in him, he's not proven that he's capable in this league.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I still can test that maybe his skill set is going to have to come from someplace else and use him in other ways, but he cannot be
5:14
[SPEAKER_00]: and when meaningful games in this league, I just think that time has come and gone or maybe never came.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
5:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it was almost all negatives out of that game.
5:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But combined with the cult still seems pretty positive if you've been coming out of that game, they kind of treated it as an A.
5:35
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a bad performance, let's move on.
5:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's probably the right move in the preseason, although it can be an indicator.
5:44
[SPEAKER_01]: It came prepared to play pretty much every game last year.
5:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm probably going to forgive it.
5:49
[SPEAKER_01]: It just the tone was so bad.
5:52
[SPEAKER_01]: It was hard to watch.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how bad it was.
5:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But there are some positives.
5:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And let's start on the offensive end.
6:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's start with Keyon Allen, which I think is a positive although toward the end of last year was pretty much
6:13
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, a Daniel Jones, at least another option beyond Burx played well in the preseason game.
6:20
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks like he's going to be a receiver in this league and looks like he might be a good three or four receiver at his top end and that's a positive sign and I know you're going to make fun on me, but Coleman Owen is legit and he is a legit receiver and he's a legit
6:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so it looks like the receiver room may be showing up a little.
6:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I, my concern with King Allen, the fact that he's played primarily in his career in the slot.
6:52
[SPEAKER_02]: He can't play in the slot called so housing look at his age out.
6:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Why I think there is something to be said with that.
6:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, on the contrary, he's played in Steichen System previously when Steichen was at the Chargers.
7:06
[SPEAKER_02]: He performed really well when Steichen was the coach there, so if there is anything left in that tank of Keenan Allen, I do think Steichen might be at a guy to get it out of them.
7:15
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to be able to play week one with the entire Routree ready for him.
7:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's better than any option they had.
7:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely is.
7:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I think even even 80% 75% of whatever King and Allen wasness prime is better than Nick Westbrooky, King A is your number two.
7:31
[SPEAKER_02]: So I like that they made the move.
7:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of wish they would also invest in the back of running back.
7:38
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I like the Colts 3 and 4, and then Ash and Doons a great 4.
7:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I think these are 4 on a team.
7:43
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a player that can give you a spark, a splash play, more of a gadget player who'd been necessarily somebody you're going to line up out wide.
7:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Regularly, boring injury.
7:55
[SPEAKER_02]: On top of that, I think I agree with you.
7:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Beyond Berks does look the part.
7:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he has the route running ability.
8:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm curious to see when we get in to regular games, how often he sees the field in two, how complex his route treats, because that will get a lean, as to where stipend views him.
8:12
[SPEAKER_02]: If he's able to run a complete route tree when he comes into the game, I do think that we're looking at a situation we might have gotten a deal with beyond Berks and he can develop into
8:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I think at the top in the wide receiver too, probably comfortably, a wide receiver 3 at the NFL level.
8:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Plus, the good news is we're finally hearing some good news out of Alec Pierce.
8:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like he's gonna start practicing next week.
8:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, my biggest concern about the wide receiver room is simply that we, I don't know that we really still have a number one.
8:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I think we've got some two, we've got some three.
8:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Until Alec Pierce proves that he can be a number one,
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm always going to be still a little down on the Yversie room with that said, I do believe, you know, with with, you know, the signing of Kenan Allen and just seeing some positive out of that room.
9:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I think like we're on the map tech here.
9:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And if that continues, we could potentially have at least a formidable Yversiever roster for Daniel Jones to throw two.
9:20
[SPEAKER_01]: plus the tight end room is what's really good.
9:23
[SPEAKER_02]: It hasn't honestly it needed to.
9:25
[SPEAKER_02]: This has to be the strength of this past sketching group, because I don't think we have that Alpha 1 receiver.
9:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think Michael Pittman was that either, but Alec Pierce definitely isn't.
9:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it was closer.
9:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I think so too.
9:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he was more comfortably
9:42
[SPEAKER_02]: how do I want to say this?
9:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he fit the role of a wider receiver one more.
9:46
[SPEAKER_02]: He was dependably played through injury.
9:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that he was very consistent, tough, great run blockers.
9:53
[SPEAKER_02]: So he didn't have to come off the field and running situations.
9:57
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think Pierce is at the point where we're going to see probably his peak in a year two.
10:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And we see that this is what he is.
10:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And I might be a real good big.
10:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a really good number two.
10:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a great number two.
10:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And in terms of a peak because he allows you to take the top off the defense in a way that somebody like a king and Allen, somebody like Michael Pippin, didn't you?
10:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Because he truly is a 80, 20-jump ball guy.
10:25
[SPEAKER_02]: You throw it up to him, he can go get it.
10:27
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got a lot of speed, he's sprinting, he's explosive.
10:31
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a great athlete on the football field.
10:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't know how polished.
10:36
[SPEAKER_02]: he is in terms of his route running in terms of that short intermediate game and that's where we're going to have to see how he comes out whenever he gets back on the field from this ankle injury is he that that I or did the cult's been thirty million dollars on you know a just another Chris Godwin to ask why to receive her that is a great two but not probably one number one exactly what I think though when you look at I mean you
11:06
[SPEAKER_00]: like you may be kind of forward to be a little less at the wide receiver position, you know, because we're pretty strong and both of those other skill positions.
11:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we have every reason to believe that our offensive line really should be pretty good.
11:20
[SPEAKER_00]: We're talking about that in a second segment.
11:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And Daniel Jones, coming back as long as he stays healthy, I mean, really this could be an offensive puts up point because there are a lot of diverse weapons.
11:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe not having the number one, but having a good solid,
11:39
[SPEAKER_00]: set of 2s and 3s, we'll give us more options instead of just going all ways to our number one.
11:47
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I think you again, with Taylor and the tight ends, we've got people that can make plays.
11:57
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll talk more about the offensive line here in just a minute.
12:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Right after we talked about another positive sign and the difference of backpills.
12:03
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll do our best.
12:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Alright guys, we'll start in the defense of backfield, where it looks like it's starting to become crowded and maybe a real positive on this team.
12:18
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw it from Justin Wally last year, it looks like he's picking up where he left off before he got injured and we might be five guys deep in that defense of backfield, you might not miss Kenny Moore at all.
12:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, like I said, I didn't gain more is a great player to have in a team through the right price.
12:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I have some incredible nickel, it's ever the answer.
12:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think the overpay for a guy like that.
12:42
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think Kenny Moore was one of the contract extension and wanted to go play winning football somewhere.
12:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is great.
12:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I really do like Justin Wallay as Nick, why didn't that's what he
12:55
[SPEAKER_02]: kind of rep that more in college and look more heartinated outside.
12:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I like his frame and I like that he's a thumper.
13:03
[SPEAKER_02]: He gets down in the box.
13:04
[SPEAKER_02]: He makes plays.
13:05
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not he's not going to perform.
13:07
[SPEAKER_02]: He does perform every day in camp.
13:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that he's similar in size and staff to do a community more.
13:13
[SPEAKER_02]: He runs five ten one ninety stocky.
13:17
[SPEAKER_02]: and that's what you need.
13:19
[SPEAKER_02]: You need a guy who can come out and just simply be reliable and he's been that up to this point.
13:26
[SPEAKER_02]: It's sad that we didn't get to see him perform last year, due to the knee injury and training camp.
13:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So we really are going to see his rookie season, but they do have Cam Taylor Grit who I can fill in, be servers, what's an NFL name that you've heard of before that you feel comfortable.
13:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And if he has to play the position doing so,
13:45
[SPEAKER_02]: give wallet runway there's a lot of games can you more look like dog shit i'm gonna be completely honest when it was bad it was really bad with king more he's performed better uh... in this room in a room of defense but who's to say that just and while he can't make clearly draft a team with some level of purpose because if they felt that comfortable with him being outside corner they don't go get money or they don't go get
14:10
[SPEAKER_02]: saw a scarider I get they got me award before they ever drafted just and while you but if you think that corner is a strength you're not actively going out and paying 25 million plus for one and 30 million plus for the other one.
14:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So they clearly have fit in here for a reason.
14:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And it looks like the green dot might go to camp by them.
14:38
[SPEAKER_02]: typically I call me a football player so I kind of like while I'm back grabbing the green dot.
14:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I just I like the look of it and it looks better.
14:45
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not certainly it's going to be.
14:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think it's difficult to put that on a rookie.
14:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I do.
14:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if CJ Allen's going to be your starter, I think it's if he had taken the job by now, I think he would, but he hasn't even taken the job by that.
14:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I guess it just, you know, ask yourself who, you know, I.
15:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like a second round linebacker, I want to feel convicted, but he's going to be a long drive.
15:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Too many days missed, and you know, right now, if you're going to guess who's going to be starting, it would be better, I think.
15:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he flies around, but he kind of drafted him to get that will linebacker.
15:20
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't draft him to play in the middle of it.
15:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think there's a reason for that.
15:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that sure's athleticism and profile.
15:26
[SPEAKER_02]: is better at a well-winebacker because he's a little faster, he's a little smaller, and he's a great asset.
15:32
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the offense, he's going to be really good.
15:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and he's a great asset coverage guy, and so
15:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, I'm not saying it's not possible.
15:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not, I don't want the listeners of this show to think that I'm dogging on Bryce Metcher, but we didn't draft him to play the middle.
15:48
[SPEAKER_02]: We drafted him to not go into it.
15:50
[SPEAKER_02]: To be, you know, I just, I hope it doesn't go that way because we gave up a lot of capital to draft a CJ Allen there and that second round, I kind of want to see that used.
16:01
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I get that he's missed some time and can't, but I'm going to get him up to speed, right?
16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: uh, this week like he did the week before, uh, bet you didn't look as good either.
16:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, no one looked good on the defense really.
16:15
[SPEAKER_01]: No, uh, but, uh, we, I hope the both of them are starting to start the year, but man, when you start two linebackers, it never goes very well.
16:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I asked the Bengals last year how that went.
16:30
[SPEAKER_01]: And so we'll see, I think that's still a concern, but if they can get some pressure up front, maybe, maybe, if they can get some, and you got a defense of backfield shaping up as one of the league, one of the best in the league, and maybe it becomes less something concern I don't know.
16:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it does become less of a concern.
16:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think we're going to be solid on the ends, corners, and so we're going to have to make plays.
16:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you that.
17:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to have less need for doubles and those kind of things when you have that kind of strength on your corners.
17:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But I definitely, I think the linebackers have performed
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a little better than I thought they would and we kind of knew this might be a little bit of a weakness of the team.
17:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Much like we talked about the wide receivers in that room, maybe not being the best that we would might have hoped for in the starting of the season.
17:31
[SPEAKER_00]: They're shipping up on the right direction.
17:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's something to be very, you know, optimistic about, especially when you consider that we're, we have a lot of strength in other places.
17:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and it came.
17:46
[SPEAKER_02]: they've escaped or explained in a rim of system.
17:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's got him from Cincinnati.
17:52
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I would say if there's a guy that you feel comfortable kind of being a stopgap until you get to where you feel confident with CJ on, I'm there like you trust him.
18:00
[SPEAKER_02]: He's played in the system.
18:01
[SPEAKER_02]: He knows the defense well.
18:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, I think that's what would happen.
18:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I do too, and I'm just curious it's still why they wouldn't get him there.
18:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
18:10
[SPEAKER_01]: because they went out and to become the guy.
18:12
[SPEAKER_01]: And by and him, if somebody had a trust and is a team captain, kind of guy, a leader.
18:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I get, it's just,
18:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't say it's super conventional and I'm almost done it before as well.
18:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yes, I shouldn't necessarily question him because he's a genius defensive coordinator right?
18:35
[SPEAKER_02]: No, genius.
18:36
[SPEAKER_02]: He's an evil scientist.
18:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Very good.
18:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Very good.
18:39
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm just sitting here on the porch talking with shit all of a sudden.
18:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I have no complaints about the cults as far as game planning and game prep with the coaching staff.
18:49
[SPEAKER_01]: None last year.
18:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought they were really good.
18:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Now some of the messaging and things like that, I've had some issues with, but as far as game prep I thought last year, they were in the A range with a team that I didn't think was always good enough to compete with the team that they were beating early in the year, almost beating in the Rams.
19:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Alright, and almost being Seattle without Daniel Jones, just a very good job.
19:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk a little bit about the offensive line and it's expected to be a strength, but there is some question.
19:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, Jalen, Jalen Travis at Wright Tackle was still a question mark.
19:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the cold still have question marks on him as well.
19:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Other than him, I feel really pretty good.
19:39
[SPEAKER_00]: about the other four lineland and i and i do think i mean i i think we've got a little bit of depth uh you know on the offensive line with jalan farmer and loop tenuda lake freeland as much as i'm not high on i mean i think the whole way a lot we got problem the culture still high on him and so
20:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think there's definitely a strength, and it's just whether or not Travis comes in and really makes that position his and they don't have to start looking for other options.
20:14
[SPEAKER_01]: The good news is what we're hearing about Jaylin Farmer who might be a legit NFL guy right away.
20:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think that it's.
20:22
[SPEAKER_02]: probably questionable to say that they're going to put the farm route, why didn't he projects more as a tackle?
20:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I think in Zolvus, Greg, like you mentioned, he's got the size to play outside.
20:31
[SPEAKER_02]: He's 6, 6, 3, or plus.
20:33
[SPEAKER_02]: That's built for a right tackle.
20:35
[SPEAKER_01]: But he was awfully good at guard.
20:36
[SPEAKER_02]: He was awfully good at guard, and I think it does beg the question, is it worth it in the investment to not have him playing where he's best?
20:45
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you think jail and farmers that good, you've got to find a way to make it work.
20:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And I do think that jail and Travis had well enough towards the end of the year last year that they would not have been as comfortable as Braden Smith walk as a guy who had been here for a while, unless they felt like he was ready to take control of that position.
21:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I will say that
21:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I think right tackles the easiest to mask.
21:09
[SPEAKER_02]: It's easiest to mask a matter, right tackles.
21:11
[SPEAKER_02]: So you can put a tight end over there to check and still run around, you can bring a Moale Cox into help and run blocking situations or simply to help and pass out situations.
21:21
[SPEAKER_02]: If you think you can win on the outside with a guy like Kean Allen, what's a guy like Alex Fierre's with a Tyler Warren.
21:28
[SPEAKER_02]: If you think you can win with Fierre Severs, well, hell, bring in Moale Cox.
21:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Put him on the right side and help him out.
21:36
[SPEAKER_02]: because that's giving Daniel Jones the most security.
21:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that's not going to happen.
21:40
[SPEAKER_00]: People tell that it's dumb.
21:41
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
21:42
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you want the most guys outwearing out this possible, but if you can really win with three, it does change the calculus when we're precise and in terms of what you can do to help a firm hard alignment or to help a guy like Jail and Travis ease in to the position more than just kind of getting put out the norm.
22:05
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a good problem to have.
22:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And everything we're hearing is, in all of us, this had a great camp.
22:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Bordalini's looked really good.
22:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we need to worry much about rhyme and or Nelson, although rhyme and not been.
22:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Quite as good.
22:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Wasn't quite as good last year as he was the year before.
22:26
[SPEAKER_01]: But the issue is it's such an important position.
22:30
[SPEAKER_01]: that they got to get it right.
22:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you don't, it'll take down the entire offensive of lying that should be a strength.
22:37
[SPEAKER_02]: The offensive one was its strength last year, week 12 or so to start looking a little shaky that hands a city game, especially it's kind of where I said, and it was a really good team.
22:49
[SPEAKER_02]: It was against some good teams, but if you're a great offensive line, you still perform and just they look shaky.
22:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think game of Jones was awesome in those games either.
22:57
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's probably too fold in terms of what the issue really was.
23:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Through the Atlanta game, they looked like the best offensive line in the NFL or right up there, and after that wasn't quite as good, sometimes wasn't good at all.
23:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I still see the projection of it being a strong offensive line this year, so that's not an area that I really am overly concerned about.
23:26
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, guys, that was great.
23:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's put it up and come back out next week and talk more about the cults.
23:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And, sorry, it's been pretty easy.
23:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's a play to switch?
23:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And the idea of win, too.
23:41
[SPEAKER_01]: You think I'm a cultured boy, we would know.
23:44
[SPEAKER_02]: They put it in.
23:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't matter.
23:46
[SPEAKER_02]: It really does.
23:47
[SPEAKER_02]: They put a lion.
23:48
[SPEAKER_02]: They put a lion.
23:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I should know that.
23:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd rub a lion's mane before the colds move the town.
23:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And still kind of love the lion's and Jared Goff.
23:59
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're going to see some chargers this week.
24:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a little bit.
24:03
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll let you see.
24:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Nate, Nate Marty said you're going to play it right.
24:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
24:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Why do we even do this?
24:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Preseason.
24:13
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just one game.
24:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's just do one for you.
24:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm kind of like, I think the whole evolution of the joint practices is more heavy.
24:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Money grab guys.
24:27
[SPEAKER_02]: We're heading in the direction of having, I think one or two preseason games having two joint practices.
24:35
[SPEAKER_02]: There are televised now, we'll probably do it in the, you can buy tickets to go to the joint practice at Lucas oil stadium.
24:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're turning in that direction and getting an 18th game.
24:44
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I see happening in that folks.
24:47
[SPEAKER_02]: If that happens, we'll have the Super Bowl on the Sunday prior to preference day, which would be huge from our out.
25:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So one o'clock Saturday, Lion's NFL Network.
25:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, you'd be through the replay just about anywhere.
25:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure it'll, but you also televised locally.
25:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is 2026, find it yourselves.
25:15
[SPEAKER_01]: But we will be here to talk about it next week.
25:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're also going to talk about the latest colds news.
25:20
[SPEAKER_01]: People are going to have two podcasts next week.
25:22
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to do our AFC rankings.
25:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I have been studying the AFC like crazy the last couple of weeks.
25:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So I am ready to go.
25:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Last year, we did the prediction for who we had playoff teams, hate to unharmed and haven't Patriots in the playoff.
25:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
26:41
[SPEAKER_01]: The central Indiana Sports Group port is a product of ITG media and I love Susie.
